banquet

A formal meal for which invitations were sent. It was the custom for those invited to be told at the last moment when the feast was actually ready (Luke 14: 17), and the seating arrangements corresponded to the host's assessment of his guests. One symbol of eschatological joy in the Kingdom (Matt. 26: 29; Rev. 19: 9) is that of a heavenly banquet.
